As you can see the majority of my feedback is from females so my feedback may be slightly biased towards females.
As I sent it to a group of girls in each year at my school and posted it on my facebook I got a variety of different ages however the majority of my feedback is from people 12 and under.
The other two answers were: Musicals and Christian. The most popular type of music is Pop, Hip Hop & Rap and R&B this is most likely because the majority of chart music is made up of these genres. However there are no genres apart from country and reggae that are unpopular so I may try to include a variety of genres in my magazine.
Only 31.6% of my audience actually regularly buy a music magazine so hopefully by looking through my feedback I can try and design a magazine that will appeal to them and encourage more people to buy music magazines.
5. [if you answered no to Q4. move on to Q6.] What magazine do you buy?
- Rock Sound
- Top of the Pops
- We <3 Pop
- NME
- Kerrang!
As the majority of my audience were quite young in the 12 and under category the magazines Top of the Pops and We <3 Pop were popular as these magazines are aimed at that age range. The magazines Rock Sound, NME and Kerrang! were also popular which are aimed at a slightly older age range, approximately from 16-30 these tend to be more focused on music than the previous two and Rock Sound and Kerrang! feature a lot of music from the Rock and Metal genres.
6. What would you call a music magazine?
- the sound- louder
- popsters
- stereo loud
- music today
- the kent music
- music mag
- tune times
- soundcheck
- la musique
My feedback from this question has given me a few suggestions for the name of my magazine. Firstly i like the name 'Soundcheck' as a sound check is something that happens in music when they check that is sounds okay, suggesting that the magazine is almost like a sound check for music as it is reviewing whether it is good or not. Secondly I like the name 'Louder' as music is very loud so it suggests that the magazine is louder which could make it better than other magazines, also it's almost challenging the music to be louder suggesting it has the best music in the magazine.
The other answer was new albums, these results show that my audience generally are interested in all of these topics but perhaps not as much in Clubbing Destinations, Music Blogs and Celebrity Styles so I may leave these out of my magazine and focus more on the others.
This tells me that my audience wants an even mix of photo's and text which I will keep in mind when I am planning my double page spread.
The most popular colour scheme was black, purple and pink however i think this is due to the majority of females in my audience so when I am making my magazine I might try to make it more gender neutral like the second most popular option red, blue, grey and white. I also could then take the theme of British music for my magazine as it would be the colours of the union jack.
The overall response was that my magazine should be published fortnightly which may suggest that the audience does not think there is enough content in a magazine to keep them interested for a whole month and by publishing every fortnight it would keep them more interested and eager to buy the magazine.
This information has given me some good ideas about what themes and styles of magazine I could make.
